San Juan, PR - Today the U.S. Marshals Puerto Rico Violent
Offenders Task Force arrested a federal fugitive by the name of Rafael Delgado
Cirilo in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

Delgado Cirilo was featured as one of the PRVOTF top ten
most wanted in Puerto Rico pending Federal and State charges pending murder,
weapon possessions and drug charges.

Confidential information was developed by members of the
PRVOTF which lead them to an address where he is been hiding as a fugitive.
After making entry into the property members of the team encountered a pit bull
dog, which had to be removed from the house. After clearing the property there
was no sign of Delgado Cirilo. Members of the entry team noticed what appeared
to be tile on the floor not matching the rest of the floor. The tile was
removed off the floor by force which revealed a tunnel that lead to an
underground room. Members of the PRVOTF called out Delgado Cirilo’s name which
he answered and complied with officer verbal commands. Upon following
instructions the subject complied and placed under arrest without incident.

At the time of the arrest a significant amount of marihuana
and cash was sized by the Puerto Rico Police Department.
